# Layout

You’ll see the screen is divided into three areas:

![3 panes](https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/3panes-1024x546.png)

- Left sidebar – for [finding entries](https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/topic/finding-entries/)
- Centre – read and [write entries](https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/topic/creating-entries/)
- Right sidebar – [find connections](https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/topic/finding-connections/) between entries (Yijing translations and information are shown here too)

## Adjust the layout

You can adjust the width of the three areas by clicking and dragging in the space between them:

## ![handles](https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/handles1.png)

To focus on a single entry, you can make both sidebars disappear and reappear with keyboard shortcuts:

- F1 to toggle the ‘finding’ sidebar on the left
- F3 to toggle the ‘information’ sidebar on the right
- F2 to restore the original layout
